29 January, 2019 – Columbus, the global digital business services provider, has today announced its strategic partnership with Sana Commerce, to provide UK small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) with an integrated e-Commerce platform for Microsoft Dynamics Business Central.
According to Approved Index, 1.98 million SMEs do not have websites, costing them over £343 billion each year, with the revenue of UK e-commerce estimated to reach around £70 million in 2019. With rising competition in the SME arena, customer engagement and customer service have become a key differentiator.
This partnership will allow Columbus to provide SMEs not only the ability to rapidly create a plug and play web-shop designed to maximise sales potential and delight customers, but also operate seamlessly across the business on a single platform.
Eleanor Walsh, Region Manager UK&I, Sana Commerce
“We're delighted that Columbus have aligned with Sana. We're hugely confident that by working closely with Columbus in the future, we’ll ensure many more SMEs can benefit from our unique market leading e-commerce solution, whilst further leveraging the strength of their existing Microsoft Dynamics ERP.”

Their fully integrated eCommerce platform combined with our Microsoft Business Central quick starts allow businesses to become more agile and automated faster. Customers can truly leverage Microsoft Dynamics Business Central and use eCommerce as a platform for continued growth.”
